>This was in a method of a formclass, and misbehaved even after recompiling (several times), and stopped misbehaving when it was handed a local variables instead of an object property. Well, nothing new - old FoxTools functions (depending on version) refused to accept a memo field, or a string longer than 255 chars and things like that - this kind of makes me feel at home.

Hi Dragan,

Yeah, I know. The old foxtools JustStem(), JustExt() did have trouble with long file names. As far as I know, you shouldn't have any problems with a filename 260 characters or less in VFP 6.0. That's the current value of MAX_PATH. I don't know if a longer string will cause it any problems, but it wouldn't surprise me if a 261 character string maxed the function out. I don't know for certain though. I'll have to check.
